Danielle Smith BLASTS David Eby + Ottawa rebrands its deficit
Kris Sims breaks down Danielle Smith’s clash with Mark Carney and B.C. Premier David Eby, Ottawa’s budget spin, and Alberta’s first teachers strike in 23 years.
In the first episode of The Fighter, Kris Sims takes a closer look at Alberta’s mounting challenges with Ottawa.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is pushing back against federal energy restrictions and B.C. Premier David Eby’s refusal to allow tankers off the West Coast, calling Eby’s stance “un-Canadian and unconstitutional.” Kris explains how years of stalled projects and federal interference have already cost Canadians hundreds of billions in lost investment.
Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano joins to analyze the Carney government’s latest budget tactics — rebranding spending as “assets” while debt-interest costs now exceed $1 billion a week.
Also, Paige MacPherson of the Fraser Institute weighs in on the Alberta teachers strike, the first in 23 years, and why union leaders rejected a 12 per cent raise — plus how reforms like charter schools could improve outcomes without higher spending.
